They just don't understand...

[Greg]

Was hanging out with some neighbors last night. One of the women, who's a real sweetheart, just couldn't understand why I would want to ride my bike through the woods. :lol:

Did you tell her about Tyler mIll and that you like to ride with a bunch of guys?

my wife stopped asking why i ski, play softball and MTB a long time ago. she simply rolls her eyes when i tell her my plans. she gives me a look when i come home cut/bruised/broken boned and asks when i plan on growing up. "never" is my answer.

This is why I have no plans of marrying a non-skier. It just wouldn't work out.

I plan on spending just about every weekend, November into May, up in Vermont for at least the next 30 years. And every other weekend outside that timeframe on a bike of some form. Unless I pick up climbing or kayaking or something like that.

+1, that's exactly what my wife and I do. But sometimes we'll hike too, especially in the in between seasons , which is really just a few weeks.

There are women out there who enjoy exactly what you do, finding them can be tough though. I know several compatible couples that met in ski clubs and bike clubs.

Does she do any hiking or trail walking? Some people (I think) could care less about the great outdoors.

I'm sure she enjoys some activity, like shopping, that you just don't get either.

I thought this was going to be about Parents..like the DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince song from 1987

Some women can be gear whores too. I race cars in an event called Autocrossing. Basically racing against the clock in large parking lots on courses arranged with cones. A woman I know in her mid 50s said "I used to ask for jewelry for my birthday or Christmas , now I ask for race tires and other race stuff". Funny stuff coming from a grandmother.

Tell her it's the new drug. Totally legal.
